We're aware of a peculiar forum glitch that's causing some subforums to be locked.

Due to the lateness at this time, it might be a while before the glitch can be remedied, because despite my best efforts and as far as I can tell, everything seems to be working fine admin-side. It may have …

I could probably explode this thread with stuff, but I will restrain myself. For now, I present to you... Aila's theme and lyric breakdown!

Breakdown:

Light My Fire!

I will set my hidden feelings free That are deep inside of me.I will break the bonds detaining meTo this blank reality, Whoa...

When Aila snapped and broke out of prison with the use of Passion, she was finally releasing all the emotions she had felt up to that point, throughout childhood and torture. She was done with the emptiness, hopelessness, and fear.

Though My destiny has been planted,Nobody can predict what will happen.I'll give my all to rise up against itThe future that reflects in your eyeswill be in my hands!

Although Aspernor told her all her life what she would become and how anything besides was impossible, Aila refused to accept it. She now fights for the future she believes in, as well as the ones her comrades hold in their souls.

Aila calls on the other Trait Bearers, challenging them to defiance. She knows that if others would accept the call, take the risk, there's a chance for change. If they would just embrace their spark of Passion, they could mend this world.

We know that our words cannot describeOur feelings deep inside our heartsWords don't have the strength to showthis love that still resumes to grow, whoa.

Words aren't enough anymore, for both the good and bad. Words can't describe the hope and love she feels for and with the Redemption, but they're also not enough to prevent conflict.

Though I wander endlessly without an answerNobody knows that only I knowThis flame inside my chest continues burningThere's nothing in this world that will ever take...This light in me!

Aila doesn't know whether she's doing the right thing or the right way, but she does know that doing nothing would be far worse. She trusts her Trait, lets it guide her, and nothing could tear it from her.

Shout Out!!! For those I must protect!!Raise Your Voice!!! Whoa..Overcome these times that try your souls!!Stand up til' the end!Don't stop reaching the goal!!Light my Fire!!!

(Hey, welcome to a special risingCan you please stay on standby?) Here we go! ~~~Charity, being the trait of Faith, is full of hope and continues to push her comrades with her “message”--words.~~~I’m in too deep to keep my sanity as the world around comes to its end I try my best to calm down heart but with this overwhelming blow I fall shortStill I hold it back: The desperation that’s swelling deep inside my soul But if this path’s another dead end then I swear to God that I’ll go berserk ~~~As the world dives into darkness but she’s trying desperately to keep herself sane and calm, she finds Hope and follows it as it leads her down the trait of Faith but she keeps running into dead ends in her plans and has to keep adjusting and developing to keep herself from falling short into the dark. ~~~Pay attention! Hey, what is it? (Watch your step now)Just shut your mouth, I know your lie (Are you serious?!) No, No, No don’t worry! 1, 2, 3Listen close to the rhythm of my heart ~~~Charity is trying to believe in herself and get past the nation’s lies. ~~~I blink away the haziness that’s in my way You gotta keep your faith in me I swear I’ll never let you down Do you trust me? Some may say that I’m blind but I can hear that shot in the dark ~~~She tries to push through and wants those to believe in her so she can keep continuing to push her friends towards the light, even if her motives seem to be blinded with optimism.~~~Now matter how I now find glory or defeat Against a foe that I can’t beatI will still wake up to a brand new day (I believe rising hope) ~~~No matter if Charity fails she knows she’ll be able to continue because she has hope in AR and Anaphora.~~~There’s not a spell or swell of magic left in me but still I won’t surrender I’ll see our wish come true ‘cause I can’t forsake the oath I made to you (I sing my heart)~~~Even if there’s nothing left in her she’ll never stop believing in her dream and fall short beside her friends.~~~If tears scream to break freeI’ll crush that cry with the resolve now swelling in meI hold the message that’s our rising hope!

I WILL GO AHEAD

Can I get non-stop ticket? I gotta get my heart away WHERE IS THE SOLUTION?Swallow all the doubt inside and GET UP! (Come on!) NOW HURRY UP! (Come on!)So, if you mind that you find that you’ve thrown away your time in end Throw it out - Never doubt or make excuses Regret is dirt so brush it off And hold your head a little higher Am I okay? I’m okay so let’s both go for deadLet your heart’s soaring algorithm fly up ahead~~~Charity speaking to her friends to keep their motives and spirits up.~~~My voice is hoarse as I scream: “I’d rather die than back down now” I can’t express this feeling inside It’s like a fire raging – slowly raising – building up inside until I blow~~~Charity’s strong motives and beliefs put in lyrics seeing as she has trouble putting them into her own words.~~~Please hear me out, I need to get this off my chest And tell you you’re the reason why I’m gonna live believing in all you’ve shown meSome may say they’re a lie But no I’ll never need proof I – don’t even care if they’re real ~~~Charity once more talking to her friends and then talking to her Faith.~~~I’ve never known that kind of love ‘Cause no one’s shown me how to open up my heartWithout the fear it’d break and fall apart The more I ask.. The more I fear the truth will hold me back and I’ll regret it But with you that feeling’s gone and for you I’ll have the strength to soldier on~~~She was never shown how to express herself, her motives, and she’s put her hope and faith in front of her to keep herself going. She doesn’t know how to see the truth without feeling like it’d stop her from continuing her motive(s). ~~~Now matter how I now find glory or defeat Against a foe that I can’t beatI will fight and chase after a brand new day There’s not a spell or swell of magic left in me but still I won’t surrender I’ll make our wish come true ‘cause I’ll never forsake what I have with you ~~~Again, Charity will not give up or go against her friends and will continue to fight beside them.~~~The future’s not far offJust hold my hand a little tighter and you will see I hold the message that’s our rising hope Forever I will hold this rising hope Rising Hope~~~Charity knows if AR continues to push on they’ll be able to change the future. She’ll continue to hold hope for herself and her friends.~~~(I believe in our Rising HopeHey, it’s just a little special risingCan you continue? Alright, lead the way!)~~~Charity again, speaking to her friends.

Anyways, concerning my characters, Athena just made this amazing and lovely avatar of Luke and Therese that I have right now, so big kudos to her! And I know I gave you guys a link to a playlist concerning them, but I'll officially post their themes and give lyric breakdowns when I'm not being strangled by homework.

And I love all of these themes -- I'm listening to them right now, and they provide interesting insight into the characters.

I've built Larea's character a lot since the form I made. So much so that I think that this is the most work I've ever put into a character.. 8+ hours put into the tropes alone yo.

I recently got into using tropes, which helped a lot in building up Larea, so I decided to go ahead and post all of her tropes here! Woo!! I think I went a little overboard but I just love Larea so much I couldn't help myself.

Tropes. So many tropes.:

Abusive Parents/Because I said so – Her parents emotionally abused and manipulated her from a very young age. Her parents would control almost everything she did, leaving her with very little freedom or choice for most of her life. From who she could and couldn't hang out with right down to the food that was prepared for her.Action Girl - While she hasn't had a chance to show this yet, she can stand her own in a fight.Apologizes a Lot – She will apologize over the simplest of things.Bad Dreams – She is often plagued by nightmares while she sleeps. Sometimes these nightmares are of her meeting her parents again and no matter how hard she fights them, they always find a way to kill her. This causes her to not look forward to going to sleep and it will often take her a while before she falls asleep during times where the dreams are frequent. When they are, dark bags will appear under her eyes.Beneath the Mask – Larea appears to be a serious person who always stands straight with her head held high. While this truly is a part of her, it is only one part of herself that she shows to the world. She has many worries and anxieties that she never allows herself to physically express when she around others and instead she'll usually try to push those feelings away and keep them hidden.Beneath Notice – She has become rather good at being able to go unnoticed in crowds and dressing in ways so she won't draw attention to herself in any situation.

Two examples:-Having her hair cover her scarred eye instead of wearing an eye patch, which she believed would have made her look more suspicious.-Stealing a white jacket so she could travel through an albino forest more safely.

Beware the quiet ones – While she doesn't say much, she isn't afraid to get shit done.Dishing Out Dirt – Literally.Eye Scream – When her father attacked her he managed to cut her left eye with his sword, blinding it.Green eyes – Larea has bright green eyes. Well her right eye anyways. Her left eye... not so much anymore.Heroic Spirit - She has a very strong will and rarely backs down from doing something she's put her mind to. Even if she gets knocked down while doing it, she'll pop right back up and try again. As many times as it takes.Leave me alone – She isn't one to open up to others or depend on others to fix her problems, instead she'll stand on her own two feet and figure out how to fix them herself. But because of this there have been a few times where things would have gone much easier for herself if she had just reached out to another person. No Sense of Humor – She is unable to understand when someone is telling a joke.

Larea: She looked between the three of them and nodded. "Forgive me if I'm being rude, but if you really are a part of a group of trait bears, would it be possible for me to join you?"Charity: I beam with excitement, "Of course! Glad to have you aboard Anaphora's Redemption!" I cheer, maybe a little too loudly.Larea: "Wait... the Anaphora's Redemption?" Larea replied, taken back.Axel: When I hear the strangers awestruck comment I shout, "No we're THE Anaphora's Redemption. How dare you think we were those posers!"Larea: "I apologize?" Larea said. "I didn't mean to offend."

Peek-a-bangs – Her hair always falls in front of her left eye.The Quiet One - She's never been a talkative person, but these days she talks even less.Red-Headed Hero – She has orange/reddish hair.Run or Die – When her father found out about her being a trait bearer, she could have either stayed and be killed or she could run away. She chose to run away and was on the run for nearly two years.Scars are forever – The moment her father found out she was a trait bearer, he strikes her face and shoulder with his sword, blinding her left eye and leaving her with scars that never fully healed.Socially-Awkward Hero – Being with people she knows she can completely trust is a brand new situation for her. She doesn't know how to interact with them so she will often think over what she wants to say a few times before saying it. She'll worry she'll say the wrong thing and upset her new allies, so more often than not she won't say anything and if she does say something it'll only be a short sentence or two.Tired of Running – After being on the run and doing her best to stay under the radar for nearly two years, she was glad when she happened upon Anaphora's Redemption and could finally do something to try and change the world for the better. Undying Loyalty – To Anaphora's Redemption.
